CHANGES IN WASHINGTON SOCIETY
Brief Interview with Mrs. Speaker
Carlisle-Returning Calls.


Carlisle-Returning Calls.
"Changes in the tone of Washington so
ciety?" said Mrs. Speaker Carlisle, as she sat
in the parlor of the Gilsey house. Mrs. Car
isle is a pleasant looking lady, who in her
youth was handsome, but her face begins to
bear the marks of years, ill health, the anx-
iety of political and the strain of social life.
She is well formed, unusually tall, and has Il
small, finely shaped head, crowned by light
reddish brown hair and her voice is that un-
usual thing among American women, low
toned and pleasant. Really" she went on,
Il do not think there has been much change
during the ten years have lived there. The
personnel of society changes more or less
every four years, and slightly every two
years. And, of course, the incoming of a
Democratic administration made a decided
difference among the people who are i'll front.
But don't think there has been much change
in the tone and purpose of society there since
| have known it."
"Then You do not think 1t has acquired
little more literary or intellectual flavor III
the last few years"
"HeS, l believe 1t has turned a little more
III the direction during the last year. But
have been out OF society entirely during the
winter on account of my health, and so can
not speak decisvely on that point"
"What do yon think has been the cause27
"Oh, there hasn't been any immediate
cause, People just got tired of the old ruts
and turned to literary matters for something
new. Another respect in which the personnel
of Washington society is changing is that so
many society people from other cities go there
now to spend the winter This element has
grown quite large and Is increasing. But
they simply fall in with the ordinary society
life of the city and do not attempt to change
its general character"
People who have never lived in " ashing
tou generally think there is less in its society
life than in that of any other city in the
country"
And my opinion is that they are about
right" and Mrs. Carlisle laughed pleasantly.
"Of course, those who live there long time
form many warm friendships, but society is
SO large and social duties are 80 many that
there isn't time for much else The returning
of calls alone is large tax upon ones

PHILOSOPHY.

Life to the few is surfeit of pleasure,
Gay as the butterfly slipping its sweet,
Tripping through gardens minuet measure,
Happy of spirit, with fairy shod feet.
Life to the many's a desert of sorrow,
Heavy of heart and with plentiful tears;
Grieving to-day, with no hopes for the morrow,
Slowly they wear out the beautiful years.
Life as it is has sufficient of either
Sadness and gladness to answer our need,
Laughter and weeping, made wholly of neither:
Harvest is always the growth of the seed
They who go bravely, with courage believing
All is not evil, viii garner the good
They are deceived who forecast deceiving,
Benefits given are not understood.
